Art of Alan Lee

Tolkien Artist

Alan Lee is a British artist best known
for illustrating the 1991 edition of The Lord of the Rings
and The Hobbit. Alan Lee's paintings are evocative and
imaginative. Rather than just painting the action Alan Lee's
paintings of Middle-Earth fill out the environment around the
words of JRR Tolkien. Alan Lee was chosen to be the main concept
artist for the Lord of the Rings movies ( see the official LotR movie site ) and worked with artist John Howe on the design
work..
